Kindercare Silverdale

We have had the best experience at Kindercare. Our son and now our daughter have been part of the Kindercare family for 5 years and have had the best start to their learning. From the very beginning the environment felt warm and welcoming. Children are happy, safe and engaged in a wide range of thoughtful, creative, fun activities. There is always something exciting happening at the centre and the families are involved in specials days. The staff go above and beyond to meet the individual needs of all children and foster beautiful relationships with them. I would highly recommend Kindercare Silverdale to anyone looking for a wonderful daycare for their child.

We are very grateful for the love and care Kindercare has given to our daughter. As a Chinese family living in New Zealand, we have always felt welcomed, respected, and supported here. When our daughter first started, English was a real challenge for her, and she needed time to understand the new environment. The teachers were always patient, gentle, and attentive. They noticed her feelings, encouraged her step by step, and helped her build confidence every day. What touched us most is seeing how much she has grown. From being shy and unsure at the beginning, she has now fully settled in, enjoys going to Kindercare, and has even made lovely friends. This change means a lot to us as parents. Kindercare is not only a place where children are looked after, but also a warm and inclusive community where children from different backgrounds can feel safe, loved, and valued. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers for being part of our daughter’s growth journey.

We have had such a wonderful experience over the past three and a half years. The teaching team is incredibly stable, which creates a strong sense of consistency and security for the children. Every teacher is caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and wellbeing. What really stands out is how much individual attention each child receives. The teachers truly take the time to understand every student, making sure no one is overlooked. My child has always felt supported, encouraged, and valued. The learning environment is both nurturing and engaging. There are always a variety of thoughtfully planned activities that keep the children interested, excited, and motivated to learn. My child goes to school happy every single day and comes home with new knowledge and experiences to share. The management is very well-organised, and everything runs smoothly. Communication is clear and efficient, which gives parents great peace of mind. The food provided is also very healthy and well-balanced, which is another big plus. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with our experience. Knowing that my child has spent these years growing, learning, and thriving in such a positive and supportive environment means a lot to our family. Highly recommended!!!

Our twins have attended Kindercare Silverdale since before their first birthday, and they've only got two weeks left before starting school. We're feeling quite emotional about leaving behind this beautiful place and all of the lovely people who have cared for our girls over the years! The staff are just fantastic - so kind, welcoming and really took the time to get to know us as a family and our daughters as individuals. I hated the idea of our girls ever being lumped together as 'the twins' and treated as if they were the same, but I didn't have anything to worry about here. From day 1, the team went out of their way to understand our very different little girls, and give them every opportunity to express themselves as individuals and do what made them happy. We've seen amazing progress in both girls, in terms of their confidence, social skills, friendships and school readiness. They are always warmly greeted by staff and friends, with fun activities ready for them to get stuck into. Families are equally welcomed into the centre, and we've loved being able to share in special occasions like Matariki and Christmas celebrations. Staff longevity here is really impressive - so many of the staff members have been here for many years, and you can tell. They know each other so well, work together so well, and see the kids progress from babies right through to school kids. It's so lovely to see teachers from the babies' room still calling out hello and chatting to the girls as they walk all the way down the hall to the big kids' room now! Our older son was at a centre with much higher staff turnover, and the difference it makes is huge, in terms of how calm and settled the whole vibe is. We've also really appreciated the beautiful healthy food that is served to the kids every day. It's so reassuring to know that by the time they get home, they've already been eating (and enjoying!) so many yummy fruits & vegetables all day! We would highly recommend Kindercare Silverdale to anyone looking for a warm, nurturing space for their little ones to grow.

We feel incredibly grateful for our time at Kindercare Silverdale. From the very beginning, the teachers have been so warm, patient, and genuinely caring. You can truly feel that the love they give to the children comes from the heart. Our son Cayden has grown so much here — not only in his learning, but also in confidence, independence, and social skills. The teachers always took the time to understand him as an individual, and we felt very supported as parents every step of the way. Communication has always been clear and thoughtful, and the environment is welcoming, safe, and full of positivity. It’s a place filled with kindness, laughter, and care. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and staff for creating such a loving and nurturing environment. We will always remember this special chapter and highly recommend Kindercare Silverdale to any family. ❤️

We’re thankful our neighbours suggested Kindercare Silverdale. Denise at the front desk always greets us cheerfully. Our two boys enjoy their time at the centre, making friends and learning new skills. The staff are caring and receptive to feedback, especially regarding my eldest’s eczema, his teachers have been very understanding and supportive. Plus, according to my boys and judging by the delicious aromas- the chef is excellent. We highly recommend this centre if you’re seeking a warm family oriented environment for your child.

Both of my daughters have attended Kindercare, and even though they are three and a half years apart, many of the same teachers were still there when my younger daughter started. The stability and experience of the team really made us feel confident and supported. The teachers are incredibly caring and patient. My girls especially love Jessie, Lyann, and Emma — they always make the children feel safe, happy, and loved. Denise at the front desk is also wonderful. She greets us warmly every day and communicates very clearly whenever something comes up. I’m truly grateful for the kindness and dedication of the whole Kindercare team. Both of my daughters had a happy, safe, and loving early childhood experience here. Highly recommend to any family in the area!

Kindercare Silverdale. I'm absolutely loving the care my kids have received at Kindercare 🤩! From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was special, and the staff are just incredible people 🥰. The teachers are so warm and engaging, and they make learning fun with all sorts of activities. My kids have blossomed here, and I'm beyond thrilled with their progress and all the happy faces! If you're looking for somewhere to leave your children, you can't go wrong with this place!

Highly recommend KinderCare Silverdale! Our daughter had a tough time adjusting at first, as English is not her first language, but the staff were amazing - so gentle and supportive. They worked closely with us to ease the transition, and now she runs in with a smile every morning! We've seen noticeable improvements in her language skills, motor development, and overall confidence. We also really appreciate the open communication and regular updates from the center. It’s clear they truly care about each child’s growth and well-being. 😊

I went around few centres when looking for a place for my daugther to go and I found Kindercare had the best atmosphere. I am glad I chose Kindercare, the teachers are so caring, many have worked for long time, the programmes are wonderful especially for the older children. We had great experience overall. I highly recommend Kindercare Silverdale.

Our son started at Kindercare Silverdale when he was just 9 months old, and now he’s almost 5 and about to start school. We joined the centre based on a friend’s recommendation, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The teachers are incredibly loving and attentive to each child. Many of them have been working here for over 20 years, which really helped our son feel secure and settled during his early years. We also appreciate that they provide morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea—it saved us the daily task of packing a lunchbox. The plant-based meals also gave us peace of mind when it came to food safety and allergies. We’re truly grateful for the care and dedication from the team. Thank you for creating such a warm and nurturing environment for our son.

A centre that feels like home when you walk through the door; we are always warmly greeted by Denise, Janna or Jane at the front desk. Kids are then welcomed into their room by the amazing, nurturing kaiako. The staff are passionate, highly skilled at their jobs and offer so much support to families; whether its helping with settling your child in the morning, toilet training or remembering what's important in each child's life at home. Amy makes the most delicious meals which our kids both loved and despite using Amy's exact recipes to recreate these meals at home, our daughter tells us "you need to ask Amy how to make it as good as hers!" We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Kindercare as we don't have whanau in Auckland, but having such a special place for our kids is the next best thing. Both our kids had five years being lovingly cared for by the unique Kindercare Silverdale team - after ten years of being part of the Kindercare whanau, it is really hard to imagine saying goodbye to the centre later this year when our baby turns five. Highly recommend!

Amazing & caring staff, highly recommend Kindercare Silverdale to any parents looking for a safe place for their child 🙂

We have had the privilege of our child attending Kindercare since he was small. The centre is absolutely fantastic, and the care that teachers have for children at each stage of their progression is remarkable. Even now, as our child looks towards school, teachers who have been there since he was tiny still say hi to him, and genuinely care to see how he is progressing. The Kaiako create a great environment for the tamariki to challenge themselves, grow, and learn in a safe space with plenty of support. We are very thankful to Kindercare Silverdale for their support in our child’s early years.

Love Kindercare Silverdale! We enrolled our little one late last year after moving to the area. The whole team is amazing and made us feel so welcome and safe during such an anxious transition. Definitely recommend

Friendly and dedicated teachers! They are always welcome the kids in the morning with smiles and big hugs. They support the kids and listen to their voices.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kindercare Silverdale! Both of my children have attended, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they’ve received. The teachers are patient, experienced, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being. The warm and welcoming environment has helped my kids thrive both socially and academically. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive place for their little ones!

My daughter has spent six months at this kindergarten since she started at 1.5 years old. Every day, she enjoys a fulfilling and joyful time here, and she often hesitates to leave at the end of the day because she wants to keep playing! From the very beginning, I felt that the teachers were extremely patient and caring. During her adjustment period, whenever she cried, the teachers would hold and comfort her. As parents, we are truly grateful to see our child’s happiness and progress. A heartfelt thank you to the teachers for their dedication and to the kindercare for its professional management. 我的女儿在这所幼儿园度过了半年时光（1岁半入园），她每天都在幼儿园度过充实快乐的时光，甚至经常放学时恋恋不舍还想再玩一会儿！从入园一开始我就感觉到老师们非常有耐心和爱心，适应期女儿每次大哭，老师都会抱着安抚她。作为家长，我们看到孩子的快乐与进步，由衷感谢老师们的付出和园所的专业管理。

My little boy has been with Kindercare since he was six months old. The teachers provide a loving and nurturing environment, making his transition smooth and giving us great confidence in leaving him there. One of the things I love most is the little diary book where they document his day with photos. This allows us to catch glimpses of his experiences and cherish every wonderful moment. The teachers are not only skilled in teaching and caring for the children but also incredibly creative. Every day brings something new—one day, the room transforms into a dinosaur park, and the next, it becomes a construction site. Their innovative activities make learning fun and engaging, ensuring that no two days are ever the same. What truly sets Kindercare apart is the passion of the teachers. They don’t just provide a service; they create lasting memories filled with love and care for both the children and their parents. For that, I am deeply grateful.

I can't praise Kindercare Silverdale enough! From the lovely admin and leadership team, to the chef and of course the Kaiako - everyone is so friendly and show genuine love and care for the kids. There are so many opportunities for learning through play, the activities are so engaging for the kids, and my daughter is always coming home with new songs, or acting out role plays that she has been doing in her room. The teachers and chef have been so accommodating with our dairy/tomato allergies, and have a great system which puts our minds at rest. We are very grateful for everything the team at Kindercare Silverdale do - it has been a wonderful experience for my child and I am looking forward to seeing her continue to flourish under their care.

What an awesome journey we had with our kids at Kindercare, Silverdale!!! We cannot thank the staff enough for making such awesome memories for our children. Both kids' transition through the Centre was smooth with a lot of support always provided by the staff. We thank Kindercare during our childrens’ transition through the Centre and we are grateful for the support, love and care you all have provided to our kids over this time and during such an important stage of their lives. Thank you so much!!!

Our children have been attending Kindercare Silverdale for nearly two years now, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, the teachers and staff have been incredibly warm, kind, and attentive. We’ve always felt complete confidence in leaving our children in their loving care. The environment is welcoming and nurturing, and it’s clear that the entire team is dedicated to creating a positive, safe, and engaging space for the children. Our kids have truly blossomed and grown during their time here, and it’s been wonderful to watch them thrive both socially and developmentally. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, love, and commitment to excellent service that Kindercare Silverdale continues to provide. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible work you do every day!

Kindercare Silverdale is an exceptional daycare. Both of our boys have attended, and the experience has been wonderful. The teachers are truly outstanding, providing attentive care from infancy, with support for sleep and feeding, all the way through to older toddlers, fostering exploration and catering to each child's unique needs. Many staff members have been there for a long time, which means stability for both kids and parents, avoiding the disruption of constant change. The meals provided are both delicious and nutritious—so much so that our kids often request the same foods at home. We genuinely feel like a part of the Kindercare Silverdale family and deeply appreciate everything they do for us. Choosing them to nurture and care for your children at any age is a decision you won’t regret!

We joined the Kindercare Silverdale family six years ago, first with our son and later our 4yr old daughter who is currently in her final class, before starting ‘big school’ next year. Both children have high health needs that require a lot of extra care and attention but as a working mother I have always felt reassured that when we drop them off, all care is taken to ensure they are safe and well-cared for. The Kaiako are knowledgeable about the actions to take in the case of a medical event and we have clear and open communication. The care and support of the Kindercare kaimahi have enabled me to continue with my career, which would not have been possible otherwise. The relationships we have built over the years will last a lifetime and the learning and skills they’ve developed is incomparable. As an example, this week the 4-5yr old class are learning about emotional competence, in age-appropriate lessons. The thought and planning in the learning and experiences are evident in the special events which are planned. The annual Winter Festival Week is a treat….from camping in the outdoor area, to spa days and snuggly blanket days. In December, Santa visits with gifts - such a highlight! Diversity and inclusion are embraced and welcomed, whether it may be a disability or culturally. For Matariki, whānau are invited for a special evening of kai and socialising. Diwali and Chinese New Year celebrations at Kindercare are also examples of how the different cultures of the Tamariki and their families are acknowledged and celebrated. These special celebrations are incorporated in the lessons leading up to the event and our daughter arrives home very excited to share these with us. Also, learning opportunities relevant to their daily life are created from any stories that families share on their Educa profile, such as a family holiday or a trip to the zoo. We will be sad when it is our time to move on to the next stage, but forever grateful for the time we had here and the precious memories created. For any family seeking quality childcare in a loving environment, I cannot speak more highly of Kindercare Silverdale.

We have had 2 kids in Kindercare Silverdale over the last 7 years and couldn't have picked a better centre to help raise our kids. The whole team are amazing and only a few have left/arrived over those years so we still get to chat daily with the previous teachers - knowing the teachers are happy is a great way to gage the environment our children are in during the day. I've always appreciated how open and approachable they are if either had any concerns. The centre safety is one of the top priorities for us and the pool fence gate and pin code is reassuring. Even with the kids being so young it's also good knowing they do the emergency drills to cover any emergency including the lock down procedures. The menu definitely helps with any picky eaters and what I would give to be able to stay for lunch some days! I'll be very sad to leave the centre next year but have appreciated all the Kindercare family and everything you have done for our family! If you are looking for a family like centre - seriously look no further!

What I love the most about Kindercare Silverdale are their teachers. They are outstanding and go above and beyond to make sure they attend to every child's need. They truly care for the children and know how to manage challenges really well. My two kids went to Kindercare and I can say they have the confidence and happiness that every child needs to transition to school and are well prepared for it.

We are so grateful for the amazing experience both of our daughters had at this wonderful Kindercare learning center in Silverdale! The teachers and admin team are truly exceptional – their dedication and passion for early childhood education are evident in everything they do. The Kindercare not only provides a nurturing and supportive environment but also promotes healthy eating with the best recipes that our kids love. We have made so many wonderful memories and met incredible people along the way. Thank you for creating such a special place for our children to learn and grow. We highly recommend this kindergarten to any family looking for a top-notch early education experience! Our youngest just started school this week, and she can't wait to go back and visit her Kindy teachers and friends soon :-). warm regards Ayesha Shields

My two girls attended Kindercare Hilltop and thrived. The homely environment, kind, caring teachers that cater for the children's individual needs made going to daycare a second home for us as a family. We are forever grateful to the staff for providing the best start to our girls learning.

Kindercare Silverdale is such an incredible learning centre, I could not be any happier with the care that my daughter is getting. I can tell she always feels so safe, loved and happy when she is there. All of the teachers and staff are so amazing and friendly, I know they really care about my daughter’s wellbeing and development and they are all so passionate about teaching. The teachers provide my daughter with an amazing environment full of fun learning experiences and they really get to know her and her individual interests so well. It is also so comforting knowing that the meals provided are so nutritious which is so important for little ones. Thank you Kindercare Silverdale for being so amazing 🩷

Like most, I started searching for the perfect daycare to look after our little one by visiting all of our area's centers. Kindercare, was our last stop, and I knew almost immediately that this was the place for us. The best word I can use to describe it is "home." I leave every morning after drop off so grateful for the amazing people that surround my child with love and support every day. I can feel how every member of the staff comes to work every day not because it is their job, but because they love what they do. The children are encouraged to be themselves and learn through all the things that they do. I am amazed at the care that goes into every single child's individual needs to provide an environment for them to thrive! I cannot express enough how fortunate our family is to be part of the Kindercare family!

Kindercare Silverdale isn't just a childcare centre - it's truly become a family to us! Over the past four years, watching my daughter thrive and grow within its caring environment has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers here are exceptional - warm, caring and dedicated to the kids and their learning. They craft engaging activities that spark curiosity and learning, from science experiments and storytelling to sports and dance activities. But what truly sets Kindercare Silverdale apart is the emphasis on learning through fun. Outdoor play, arts, crafts, group activities - there's always something exciting happening, leaving the children beaming with joy. My daughter is especially excited for their various themed days - whether it's dressing up like a pirate or bringing her tent to go "camping" in the outdoor area! The kids are always learning so much through play and activities, and I'm always excited to hear what my daughter has to say when I pick her up! Thanks to the dedicated team of teachers at Kindercare Silverdale, my daughter has blossomed into a confident learner while experiencing the pure joy of childhood. I wholeheartedly recommend this centre to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child!

Kindercare Silverdale has been our second family for the last 10 years with all three of our daughters attending every day. The love and care they received while coming here has been more than we could have asked for. It has truly been a home away from home for our girls. The kaiako are amazing and the learning and fun they had each day has been memories they cherish and still talk about to this day. Thank you for all you have done for our family and our girls, we are beyond grateful!

From the moment our two kids stepped through the doors of Kindercare Silverdale, our lives changed for the better. This early learning centre isn't just a place for kids to spend their day; it's a nurturing ground for their minds and spirits. The admin and teaching team at Kindercare Silverdale are simply outstanding. It's evident from every interaction that they're not just professionals but passionate educators who genuinely care about each child's learning journey and developmental milestones. Their dedication shines through in the way they engage with the children, inspiring curiosity and a love for learning that I see blossoming in my kids daily. My kids come home bubbling with excitement about their day, eager to share new discoveries and showcase their progress. It's clear they feel safe, understood, and valued, which, as a parent, is all you could ever wish for. To the entire team at Kindercare Silverdale, from the depths of our hearts, thank you. You've given our children a precious gift – a solid foundation for life-long learning and personal growth. We recommend Kindercare Silverdale to any parent looking for an exceptional early learning experience for their children. Kindercare Silverdale, you are truly amazing. Thank you for being our partners in parenting and our children's home away from home. Here's to many more milestones and successes together!

My daughter has been attending Kindercare Learning Centres for 3 days a week since she was one and is just about to graduate and go to school. She has absolutely loved her time at Kindercare and has thrived there. Couldn't recommend the centre enough. From the teachers, to the food to the learning environment, it's definitely a one of a kind centre. Teachers - Each teacher is kinder than the next. Our daughter can be a bit sensitive so sometimes need extra care and cuddles and we found the teachers really got to know her and treated her with so much kindness and care, going out of their way to make her feel welcome and safe in each room. The teachers really listen to what each child is interested in and responds to and will cater conversations and learning around that. Learning - The mix of play and organised learning for the kids has been something we have loved. Our daughter has grown so much with her learning and confidence. A lot of it is child-led and just seems like fun and play to her. They have so many fun days for the kids to get involved in - camping day, dress up days and recently they even got to make their own dumplings for Chinese New Year (something my daughter had made with us at home and shown interest in). Food - it is amazing not to have to pack a lunchbox, knowing your child is being fed healthy and nutritious food. We aren't vegetarian but my daughter loves the vegetarian meals on offer and they are always served with protein and are well-balanced. She talks about the yummy food each day! Overall, couldn't recommend Kindercare enough. We are sad for her to leave but have another baby due in a couple of weeks who will definitely be attending when he's older! :)
